setting in one and hatching in another

[ladyfaeden]

I have 2 Styrofoam incubators. One is a wafer thermostat and the other is digital. I've got eggs in one now and wondered if I can eggs to it once a week and hatch in the other, or will the temp drop be too much?

The temperature should be the same in both of them. I use different bators.... one to incubate and one to hatch. The one I incubate in, I can add eggs at any time. I move them into the hatcher (the second incubator) on day 18 (if I remember

).

Hi, The temp drop I was refering to is the one that seems to occur for about 6 hours every time I add a bunch of new eggs. My new bator has a fan. I'm guessing it should get back up to temp faster?

Yes, the one with the fan should get back to temp faster. That's the one I'd use as the incubator and use the still air as the hatcher.
